Got my HC toon killed today at lvl 56... instead of actually leveling another I jumped in the HC PLVL community and got to 70 in a few hours.

Now I'm up to paragon 21, and just shy of comfortable at T1. 412k dmg, 6.5m tough, 28% increased fire thanks to the SOJ I already found lol.

The HC power level community is so awesome. I had a Crusader leveled for the heck of it.

I am trying to get better gear to get boss achievements in HC. I got a couple that require no crowd control of adds but the timer ones are out of reach for my Barb right now. My Barb has like 620k fire dps and am sitting at 16 million toughness. I can do T1 stuff easily but I have not tested end stage bosses yet. I need more dps for them. I have done a bunch of bounties and gotten a mace and two sets of shoulders already from Act 1 caches.

yeah, this is my problem. I can't play higher difficulties either because I can't get good enough gear to do them.

Everybody has to start somewhere. I started HC and it has been vastly different. I am close to 100 keystones on HC from Act 1 bounties.
 
Nice to see other people here running HC. I have a T1 Crusader, but I'm working on a WD right now. Still level ~30.

I'm getting to the point where I just want SOMETHING that can go beyond T1. My softcore wizard almost can, but dies way too much in T2 rifts. MY DH might get there, but it appears WD is the way to go in that they have the least stringent gear requirements for getting beyond T1. I imagine required gear for all classes evens out once you want to hit T4+.

Mmm kind of. Monks are really underpowered but can provide major support. My wizard is pretty well geared but t6 will be difficult until 2.1

As far as WDs go my jade doctor is op, bit it requires 12 specific items. Once I get a good azurewrath my DMG will be insane.

My pet doctor was somewhat easier to gear up.

Any conjecture on a 2.1 release date?

I hear that a Sunkeeper is a better weapon for a Jade Doc. What say you?

I'd probably only switch to Sunkeeper for RG's though as yellows and blues melt as it is. I just rolled an okay Utar's roar, gonna try to get haunt dmg on my serpent as well.

1 million sheet dmg, 74% increase to cold, 27% increase to haunt, 27% increase to elites as it it.
 
I feel like my wizard is just leveling up much faster than my monk did. I'm leveling up multiple times in a play session and i just don't remember that happening with my monk, lol. Maybe its because I'm still fairly low level (mid 30s).
 
waggy said:
ugh. i'm getting tired of T1-2. i'm not getting any upgrades. though i am getting BS plans.

getting tiresome =(

Been trying for months for andariel's. Finally got it. I need to see what's what with my other fire gear, but I believe I'm going to be able to dump my IK stuff and get to a true leap quake build. Excited to say the least.

If you want 70s for all characters, I recommend doing the RiFs before 2.1 comes out. As it stands now, RiF will allow you to level up a char from 0-70 in a couple hours, so long as you have plenty of rift fragments.

I know not everyone wants a quick 70 char, but for those that do, do some RiFs.

Nothing worse than wanting to play a different char class but not having a 70 version and to have to go through the grind for 70 levels.

I also finally got an Andariel's a week ago, and still haven't been able to roll CC on it. Cost is up to 3.6M now. Funny thing is, back when it was around 2M per roll, I joked about getting another Andariel's, making my money spent on the first one a waste - and I did get another within an hour of saying that! It was so bad though, that I kept the original after trying a few cheap rolls on the second.

I think the Mystic is bugged for it though, because I've only been up to 2M rolls on a few other items now, and there really aren't that many options on helms to roll to. :/

I rolled 6.0 cc on the second roll. No socket though. 2.1 should fix that.
 
Hrm, I thought it added it to any socketable item. I could have sworn I read that. I stand corrected, and concede the floor of the internet to those posting in blue on the bnet forum. Thank you for the correction.

No, yo'ure partially correct. The original tooltip or patch notes stated it would add the max number of sockets to any socketable item.

I think that's how it should be b/c it sucks rolling a chest or pants for 3 or 2 sockets only to get less than that. I thought Ramaladin's gift would be great for fixing that, in addition to relieving the stress of getting a socket on a weapon.

Glad I'm not "totes cray."


On a side note, I played a little T3 last night and the whole 3-leap-EQ, EQ Fire Rune, and Avalanche Fire Rune Combo melts stuff very quickly. will move up to T4/T5 tonight to see how my toughness plays out. I do miss the ancients running around all the time though.
